We watch them on television; movies, commercials or sport shows and we wonder why would anybody want to jump from a flying airplane? Yes, we all know it’s dangerous but we love the spectacle not as much as they (skydivers) themselves though.

I just came across this tragic story of Jack Fogle aged 27 from Kingston Washington. He suffered from quadriplegia which is also known as Tetraplegia and is defined by Wikipedia as: “paralysis caused by illness or injury to a human that results in the partial or total loss of use of all their limbs and torso; Paraplegia is similar but does not affect the arms. The loss is usually sensory and motor, which means that both sensation and control are lost.”

Jack was a skydiver and jumped 18,000 feet to his death yesterday, Monday. He is believed to have been impaired by his ailment from being able to activate his primary parachute whilst his back-up parachute failed to activate. He hit the ground at a speed estimated to be 120 miles per hour.

@iice,
